EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, Jan 03, 2013 (AFP) -Childhood toys lost in a war-torn field have inspired an odd-looking invention like a giant dandelion seed head which its young Dutch inventor hopes can help save thousands of lives and limbs in his native Afghanistan.

Toy-Review: Gay Empire + Sucklord 0.67 by The Sucklord
I think I had just been turned a "SUCKLORD-minion" today, with the assembly of the Sucklord 0.67 figurine (limited to 25 pieces at US$75 each) - which came with the figure-in-blister-tray all bundled up in a wrapped newspaper, and the blister-card in a separate bag! DIY-packaging FTW lol … a fuss-free slight pop in, and the package is complete! Wholly expensive tho, but highly "fun" given the ![]()

My delivery from Bottleneck Gallery came today, and I MUST say, their service has been nothing short of excellent!

I Miss You Hostess Twinkies!
It's pretty well known by now that the Hostess Company went out of business lately and they stopped making their delightful treats. Yes, you can no longer buy Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho-Ho's, Fruit Pies, etc... and it completely bums me out. OK, it's not so much the fact that I miss eating them, even though they were pretty good sometimes, it's the fact that I feel like a part of my childhood is completely gone. Does that make sense?
Anyways, sorry about the dumb rant. The other main focus of this post is really to enjoy this beautiful artwork featuring Batman, Robin, and Twinkie The Kid. Do you remember those "Hostess Ads" inside the comic books of the 1970's and 80's where they advertised their products? They were made to look like comic stories & they were totally great!
Well, here is a photo of some Original Art showing only a close-up of a final panel. I'm not exactly sure who the Artist was on this but if I had to guess, I'd maybe say, Dick Giordano??
One last thing, please be sure to click on it for a larger, sharper, photo.

Two New BATMAN PRODUCTS To Keep An Eye Out For!
One of the main things that the BAT-BLOG tries to focus on is the joy of collecting both Brand-New and Vintage pieces of Batman merchandise or collectibles. OK, it's really our SUPER-MAIN focus here because it's the activity we all love most! Anyways, here are 2 very fun items you might find in your local Grocery Store.

First is a sealed package of 3 BATMAN BELLY WASHERS. Yes, it's a funny silly name, ha! These are those plastic bottles of fruit juice that have "character heads" on the top of them. I've always liked the designs of these products.
![]()
Next up is a Batman 'Holiday item" I found on Clearance. This is a Plastic Tumbler with awesome graphics. It's sort of their "Christmas version" because it's main colors are green & red. But overall it really doesn't have anything Christmas on it. It's made by the Hallmark Greeting Card Company as a part of their "Party Supplies" line. You could drink out of these, of course, or you can use one on your desk to store pens & pencils.
Important Side-Note:
If ANY Bat-Blog Fans out there see any brand-new pieces of Batman Merchandise, then please let us know. Thanks.
